Description

Presssure ulcers on the toes and ball of the foot can be painful, debilitating, and difficult to heal. Left untreated, they can lead to hospitalisation. GlideWear Forefoot Shear Protection Socks are designed for people in long-term care, hospice, or on bed rest — as well as people who use wheelchairs. GlideWear Forefoot Shear Protection Socks use patented technology to protect skin and reduce the friction and shear that cause pressure ulcers. Unlike foam or blow-up booties, GlideWear socks stay in place. They can be worn alone or over or under thicker socks for warmth and accommodate for swelling.

Available in black or white in S, M, L or XL

 

GlideWear Forefoot Shear Protection Socks are ideal for:

  • People with lower extremity neuropathy (common with diabetes) who are at-risk for skin breakdown on the toes and ball of the foot
  • Wheelchair users who have redness, pain, or bedsores on their toes.
  • Seniors with limited mobility who spend much of the day in bed, sitting, or in a wheelchair.
  • People recovering from surgery who are temporarily bed-bound.
  • People who use orthotics, walking boots (cast boots), or orthopaedic footwear.
 

Directions

Wear daily to prevent and relieve skin breakdown around the toes and ball of the foot. Machine or hand wash and dry after each use. Contact your healthcare provider if you have any questions about the use of this product.
